"This investment is a game changer for us and really sets us up for our next big phase of growth. We have always taken a test and learn approach to our investments in growth and that has not only kept us in control of our destiny as shareholders but has carried us through some of the most testing times for businesses that we have ever seen. I am excited that in partnership with Maven we will be able to accelerate our growth and capitalise on the massive market opportunity"

"At the heart of our industry is an inherent value exchange between advertiser and consumer, and I’m on a mission to harness that value as a significant force for good. Through our respectful, positive ad platform, brands can treat people online as partners — rather than targets — united by a desire to have a meaningful social impact. Backing from industry experts like QCM and FirstPartyCapital, social impact investors and, indeed, the general public, will help to supercharge our growth whilst keeping us true to our values at every step along the way."

"Velocity is delighted to be working with Sheila as she tackles a very real pain point; managing the end-of-life planning process through a user-friendly digital vault, making it simple and easily accessible."

"As society continues to transition to cleaner energy systems, we have been experiencing greater demand for our decarbonisation solutions. This demand was reflected in our most recent funding round, with it being oversubscribed."

"We are delighted to today be announcing the successful close of our fundraise."

"Sometimes out of adversity comes opportunity, and SnapDragon is testament to that. We are helping brands to remove fakes from sale online: protecting revenues, reputations and, most importantly, the end consumer. What brands may not realise is that sales made from counterfeits fund organised crime, such as trafficking – and nobody wants a fake of their brand funding illicit trade. In identifying fakes online, and removing them from sale on the pertinent platforms, we prevent their visibility and subsequent purchase, export, import and distribution."

"This new funding will enable us to expand our team and accelerate Chromacity’s growth, both commercially and technologically. We are seeing significant traction with major industrial companies in China and Japan, who are very interested in the high average power and broad wavelength coverage of our systems, and it’s important we are funded to accelerate growth and capitalise on these opportunities."

"In the new world, AI can be adopted throughout the customer journey, driving new insight, significant efficiency gains and better protecting the vulnerable. It’s a win-win situation. By using AI to help automate processes like quality assurance and risk monitoring, material cost reductions can be achieved. At the same time, companies gain targeted insights on customer experience and training opportunities for customer-facing staff."

"I had to give presentations 2 or 3 times a week as part of my degree. I was getting so frustrated spending hours preparing every week only to forget key information during my presentation."

"This is hugely exciting news and is a change of trajectory from our original, more modest ambitions – we are now set on the path for Boundary to become a top-tier European home security business. To have someone with the calibre of Gareth giving our product his backing and mentorship is incredible; we have massive plans for the future."

"We were painfully aware of how outdated methods and tools were no longer fit to deliver the rapid change needed for businesses to survive. We’re all being challenged to deliver more, and at a faster and faster rate, but we still face the stress and frustration of misalignment and surprises in projects."

"Our technology is already making a significant impact within counter terror and child sexual abuse investigations in the UK, and we're excited to build on this momentum in mainland Europe and the US. We've built a great network of partners to support our ambitious growth plans, and our team will double in size during each of the next two years to support this growth."

"We are revolutionising oil test ing and analysis services by making conventional laboratory procedures mobile, rapid and routine"

"We are excited about the year ahead. The changing dynamics of travel play to our advantage and present a huge opportunity for TravelNest and our customers. Industry data shows that people are opting for holiday rentals over hotels, and there is also a marked shift in travel behaviour with more domestic travel and a preference for accommodation in rural rather than urban settings."

"2020 sent shockwaves through the high street, and nothing will ever be the same. Having worked in retail for 20 years, this has made me even more ambitious with our plans for growth over the next 18 months."

"Our mission is to change the fitness tracking market for the better, by making professional running laboratory-grade technology accessible to all runners. In doing so, we’ll help people both improve their running and lessen the risk of injuries."

"After running my own companies for nearly 20 years, I have first-hand experience of how difficult it can be for emerging brands to get their products in front of retail buyers,"
